It is recommended that you have the Luna SR2 (4.4.2) version of the Eclipse IDE installed on your development system. However, if you currently have the Kepler 4.3.2 version installed and you do not want to upgrade the IDE, you can configure Kepler to work with the Yocto Project.
If you do not have the Luna SR2 (4.4.2) Eclipse IDE installed, you can find the tarball at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads. From that site, choose the appropriate download from the "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers". This version contains the Eclipse Platform, the Java Development Tools (JDT), and the Plug-in Development Environment.
Once you have downloaded the tarball, extract it into a
clean directory.
For example, the following commands unpack and install the
downloaded Eclipse IDE tarball into a clean directory
using the default name eclipse
:
$ cd ~ $ tar -xzvf ~/Downloads/eclipse-cpp-luna-SR2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
